DISH is going internet similar to Apple TV and CZcams TV. I told my company that worked in Cable in 2016 this would happen and T-Mobile is in their sights as well. Cell companies will become part of the Starlink network. Next will come Quantum communication replacing Sats with using nonlocality.
The day I can drop Verizon phone service will be a day to celebrate, they have extracted 10's of thousands of dollars from me simply because they can. I don't expect it to be a free service, but as a Gen1 beta dish holder I would be accepting of a 'We hung in their from the beginning discount'. Now that does start to bring up the single point of failure concern, but to get rid of Verizon I am willing to let it go for a while.
You're delusional if you think your $120 a month for internet will also cover your cell phones. Especially if cell companies like AT&T go under. As they get closer to being single provider, which FTC won't allow, the price will get higher and higher. Don't think Elon will do this for the same amount he is getting today.
LOL, like Dish Networks. they are building a Wireless Carrier Network. Starlink wont be taking over ground based anytime soon. Hell they cant even handle the massive traffic that is currently the mobile network aka wireless infrastructure. Of course if we all want to go backward to say 250 kbs data then sure... Lets go backward. Please let me know when starling can handle 310 million (310,000,000) mobile phones, tablets, cars with data so forth an so on at 500 mbps otherwise ....
This would be revolutionary in Australia where cell coverage is poor to nonexistent outside the major cities, with 25 Million potential customers who are sick and tired of the local providers. I really hope this comes off.
I have lived in the rural NC mountains for 25 years. I still do not have cell service. I was one of the first to get Starlink in this area. I fired DirecTV, SiriusXM and downgraded HughesNet (as a backup to Starlink) I can’t wait until I can fire Verizon & Frontier (landline) if Starlink can connect my cellphone to a satellite. My expenses for a landline, satellite TV & Verizon (which doesn’t even work in my home) make my monthly Starlink expense look like a drop in the bucket. The Telcos have have 25 years to provide basic internet and cell service to potential rural customers in this area and could have cared less. I hope their day of reckoning is coming soon. 🙏
Caught the competitors sleeping. Watch the industry wake up and start fighting Elon in every manor possible.
God willing that industry is whats collapsing, if they were not, we would not know about it. Obama shut NASA down during his administration. Nothing out of them until Musk. NASA is one of them there 3 4 letter deep state controlled.
They already are, including the USG.
Exactly. They're going to hit SpaceX with antitrust nonsense when it's their own faults for never trying to innovate
Watch the price go down and more high speed internet become magically available.
The competition are all owned by one company pretty much, this is planed from the start and is part of population control, it will all tie together with the ground net. There will be nowhere to run
I got starlink in my area about 8 months ago, spent my entire life using sub 30 mbps and instantly went to 250mbps. Completely changed the way I use internet and consume content. Hoping they change my life again with this cellular system
Whoohoo! Getting closer to the real deal. Can hardly wait. Can you hear me now. Lol GO ELON!
And, with their New Pi phone! Kick apple and the rest of these guys to the curb!
Absolutely
I think many people are missing the point. While sat2phone will be revolutionary in many areas with little to no coverage, it can't replace terrestrial cell systems where there are high population densities, deep inside building coverage or high performance speeds. It doesn't matter how many satellites there are in space, they can never provide the same amount of data throughput as a high density cell phone system can do based on the current mobile phone technology and spectrums they use. As it is most cell phone networks in high population density areas suffer congestion during busy periods and that is with towers less than a mile apart and from towers that can provide speeds in the 100's of Mbps per user.
Another major problem with relying on sat2phone communications is that the battery will go flat more quickly as the handsets will have to use more power when they are sending a signal to the satellite. The handset will also have to operate in higher power modes when receiving larger data sets as the data won't flow as quickly.
Totally agree with this assessment. Sat to cell is revolutionary, and will make a huge difference in remote areas. There may be some (limited) indoor capabilities, but nothing like we have with regular cell service. This isn't going to run AT&T and Verizon (or TMo) out of the market by any stretch of the imagination. There is no way sat to cell can provide the density of coverage in populated areas, and also as CraigFryer noted, cell batteries won't last very long at all trying to communicate with satellite links. This is an interesting development, but it isn't earth shattering.
@CraigFryer you said samething with starlink internet but here we are .
Sat to Cell is easy. It’s the Cell to Sat that’s the problem.
@@motor2of7it’s called innovation , Elon and his crew are wizards at innovation I would think you agree?
it’s called physics. The energy required to transmit from a handheld to a satellite might be achievable but only for a few minutes from today’s phones. That’s why iridium phones are so big. It’s not a viable or replacement for what people expect from a cell phone.
While flying over Key Lake Saskatchewan @ 5000' AGL I placed my phone against my aircraft window and placed a video call to our fire base in La Ronge with video & GPS coordinates of the forest fire. If you mount the new Starlink Mini on top the wing imagine all the possibilities? Game Changer 👍😎
Trent Palmer mounted Starlink in his Carbon Cub, it was relatively easy, he just 3D printed a bracket. Now he has internet in his plane, wifi calling everywhere at any altitude in the remotest areas and planes near him can connect via wifi.
I think it is funny when you see a character in a movie placing a sat phone call from inside, or even in a tunnel.... YEAH RIGHT!
It's as if Elon is spying on me and listening to my biggest complaints. First he gets me awesome internet in an area that no one ever cared about before. Now I might be able to make a cellphone call without wi-fi calling or climbing up the power pole???
With my iPhone, I can set it to make ordinary phone calls by connecting to WiFi. Works with Starlink WiFi too.
@@softwarephil1709 My android does the same. But when I go out back, out of wifi range, the phone becomes a paperweight.
I think he IS spying on you.
No, he just has the same problems we do and thinks of a fix. And he has the money and staff to get it done. I live in the country and Starlink is fabulous. Fast internet that is otherwise not available. FJB

I would love having cell service in my rural area. When traveling to forest roads, State and National parks there is typically no cell service today.
I'm a trucker, and I do see new towers going up from time to time. These are typically in new developments; in my case, I see them in areas where new warehouses and business parks have been built. However, most older developments are already saturated with cellular signals, so no new towers are needed.
T-Mobile has definitely been busy converting the old Sprint WiMax towers over to LTE/5G. All three major carriers are represented in my truck (ATT and VZW phones, TMO on my tablet), and I'm seeing more VZW dead spots than TMO. (Why two phones? No carrier covers everywhere, but everywhere is covered by someone.)
As for satellite use indoors... GPS is rated for outdoor use only. However, a true GPS receiver (and not that chip in your phone) will often work indoors. I suspect that the indoor testing of SpaceX cellular is to find just what problems that it has. Dealing with the FCC is much like a game of "Mother May I?".
And Elon, where is that long-promised Starlink antenna for tractor trailers? And I'm not talking about that $2500 thing...
You can just install the small starlink antenna flat to the roof with a 3d printed mount. Works on many camping vans and trucks I know
Glad someone pointed out that the no new cell towers statement is just not true. Also there's some definite plan of understanding about actual cellular signals or radio signals in general.
This happening in Canada would be massive! We would say goodbye to all communications companies. This would be amazing, because if you think your being gouged in the USA you should see the prices in Canada
Amen brother !!!!
Preach!
First the cable companies, now the Telcos! Starlink judgment is coming!
czcams.com/video/Wtonb-WDQrk/video.html
Your government probably wouldn’t let you have it.
CRTC but yes you are right! @@toadsauce8091
I work at DoD and we have been testing DTC for the US Navy
I hope that isn’t classified info.
@@softwarephil1709It's not. DoD made a public announcement more than a year ago.
Nothing would make me happier than to see Elon pull this off.
I love this industry :)
Elon Musk, a rose among thorns.
That’s nice.
Yeah, I wouldn’t go that far. He is involved with creating the beast system.
Thank you for finding all of this good information for us! I would enjoy dumping my AT&T contract to get my phone service from Starlink, too, however I seriously doubt it will be included in my $120 (C'mon Elon, take care of Texas so I'm not in a congested zone anymore!). They'll add some charge for cell phone service and use it to make more satellites with the capability to replace ones that don't, and I'm ok with that as long as it's not another $120. I'll have to replace phones less frequently because I'll have to buy unlocked phones at full price, but I'll manage somehow.
Keep on keepin' on, man!
Amazing. The star link satellites are 330 miles away. My cellphone can have difficulty getting towers I see in the distance. I cannot wait for the magic to happen.! And I do mean MAGIC as that is what will be needed
With my iPhone, I can set it to make ordinary phone calls by connecting to WiFi. Works with Starlink WiFi too.
For $thousands of dollars
Hopefully it will all be 1 package, phone,internet for $120.
Right? :)
Man we can dream. Everything that is satellite is about to get cheaper. Wonder how low mr Huges Stationary Geo Slow Sat will still want a hundred dollars a month for a glorified modem connection.
All in one global package. That is what I want.
Naw, start at $50 please. cause everything always goes up.
and not even $120 a month, just $120 for everything
When internet goes down, when emergency brod cast is needed, this is an answere to calming the chaos
As a truck driver I’m very interested in this. If they could get me perhaps higher sat to phone speeds with an unlimited hotspot, or a starlink dish + direct to cell number, I’ll ditch Verizon. Ideally, I want a starlink dish at home, to supplement and cover outages on my isp, and one for the truck, plus I’d switch my family to “x mobile” or whatever it could be called
If you have outages on a frequent basis, why use that ISP at all?
To use Mobil Band (Frequencies) the connection is not only the beam from the satellite to the phones. The phones must also be able to connect to the satellites, same as connect to the cell towers. Outdoor or Indoor depends primary on the frequencies/band. It might be also possible to connect to stationary ground tower in some regions (to serve tunnels or other topologies.
Let me blow your mind. What if Space X uses all the Teslas as antennas to boost Space X signals for cellular use? Googles uses customers phones data to gauge traffic movement.
Apple uses iPhones, iPads to help locate its air tags.
Who reads EULAs?
Yep. They could. I’ve always said, every Tesla would become a data hub for its owner with full high speed internet via a built in Starlink antenna.
Hi J been using half price star link here in New Zealand for a month now
there seems to be no change in speed
there was no email about this package being available
until you told us cheers
The big deal will be price, because I cannot afford starlink for an IP not when others charge $25 buck and that's what I pay for my cell service also. But I would pay $50 for cell service and IP If they offered it.
If they could give some kind of incentive or loyalty benefit to their early adopters (stock options, deals, combo plans etc.), yeahhhh ummm, that would be nice.
Pie Town? I've been through there and camped in the mountains to the East a few times. Very small and rural.
100% agree with you JC. The savings will come, thankfully!
Thanks!
Wow. Twice. Truly appreciate it Chris ! Blessings.
Can't wait for it to be main stream
I will be a happy customer!
Does Starlink do anything to accommodate the National Radio Quiet Zone, and what will they have to do for the NRQZ if they are supplying cell service? Do they turn their transmitters off while transiting over those areas?
If Starlink and T-Mobile work together they can both benefit and so will the public. Starlink maybe able to use cell towers as a down link or uplink? This would be game changer. Go Space X
around here T-Mobile is a 3rd rate service with no coverage anywhere except in the congested areas
Se funcionar tão bem quanto parece mudaria pra Starlink Celular imediatamente 😂, aqui no Brasil a cobertura é muito precária em zona rural e as operadoras tradicionais pouco investem fora das cidades grandes.
Since we got Starlink, I've been wondering if /when Starlink will release a cell phone network
That’s all well and good, but Starlink is an extremely vulnerable system.
The area around the planet in space is cluttered with debris, spacex even included collision avoidance into Starlink. When Starlink gets close to having 40k satellites into LEO what would be the result if a rouge nation sent a couple dozen rockets into that altitude and detonated them?
Take for instance a Patriot missile, the warhead is nothing more than a winding of hard steel with an explosive core that when detonated creates a huge ball of wire tangle, it does this in the path of what it is attempting to stop, it’s pretty effective in stopping its target.
So a rogue nation like North Korea takes some of their rockets and spreads out a number of debris fields that the Starlink satellites just cannot avoid, as satellite collisions begin their debris will soon create massive altitudes where it will take years to recover from.
Starlink, for me works great, but if we allow it to become something that drives terrestrial communications out of business a day will come when there will be a price to pay.
Do some research on why the US ended testing of space interceptor systems, about the debris those few tests created that are still causing space hazards.
At 320 km the debris would de orbit quickly, at any other altitude there is no collision hazard, In non circular orbits the collision hazard is negligible. Do some orbital mechanics, the surface of one orbital altitude is 510 000 000 km², there crossing orbits are the biggest collision hazzard ; non circular orbits cross the entire sphere only twice every 90 minutes. once the orbits decay aerodynamically they are no longer a factor.
Back in the 90's when I first had GPS navigation on my laptop (Before smart phones) in my car, I had to have an antenna mounted on the outside of my car for it to work. Maps had to be predownloaded. Later I as able to use GPS navigation on my dell PDA with a Bluetooth GPS receiver that had to be placed up against the front windshield. Fastforward to today. I can now use GPS navigation on my cellphone with my cellphone anywhere in my car and even inside my house and building. Very seldom do I get a message that it can't detect a GPS signal. So if I can currently receive GPS satellite signals the only hurdle is sending a signal to a satellite.
great video, thanks for the info ! gave it a like.
I would think you would need a Cell Phone Signal Booster or outdoor antena for Metal Roofs and Metal Buildings. but it should work.
Could be.
Large indoor spaces could be covered with a "Starlink microcell".
Starlink doesn't need a strong beam because they can provide its signals from multiple satellites and as so bypass obstruction
It is a game changer... We own a Starlink and we are never going back.
Sick of regular providers that charge big bucks for internet and deliver slow speed.
Cell phone from Starlink? Watch how fast we jump on that one.
Verizon charges big bucks and we have nothing but issues with drop outs if you hit a certain spots everytime and they are everywhere around here for years!
Roofs are easier to get a signal through than walls, in good weather! With beam stearing, and multipoint satelite access, it COULD
really upset the cellular guys.
Im still on dsl. Its functional enough for us 4 to utilize it just fine on 1.2-7 mbps. However, any game server time or HD movie streaming the bandwidth can only handle one device at a time successfully. The others can still access websites and watch CZcams but it works well enough with little buffering. Im amazed it can do that.
Elon's gonna make another 200 billion.
Oh ya.
My original “Hot spot” device was able to connect to satellites when in a sparsely inhabited area. The current ones work only off towers.
What’s vital to me is which carrier provides the best connectivity.
In my town Verizon has terrible service! Over the years I’ve also had Sprint and ATT- they all have fairly large areas with poor or zero signal. I’ll go with anyone that improves the current status quo
It’s game over - IF THERE’S NO LATENCY!
This is why Apple will never block access to Twitter-X, because as Elon reminded them “I will start my Own Phone Company” if X is blocked by “carriers”.😅
It will be interesting to see if they wind up creating their own provider, that’ll be the real competition to land based telcos, even just for data… I live in an area that has poor cellular coverage so this type of service augmentation would benefit us quite a bit, and apparently I’m on the compatible network, so 🤞
If you’re in a single storey building, I can imagine some roof materials allow enough signal. But not a skyscraper or in some other buildings.
Just as before, when some office buildings had no cellphone coverage.
Guess what, if you’re in a large commercial multi story structure, and that building has good cell connection it probably has a repeater system in place.
I previously worked for a large federal government entity, we were issued cellphones as it was critical to have to maintain connectivity. The contract for the cell service changed from one provider to another, we all had to turn in our phones and get new ones. The first thing that occurred was about half the phones had no service when inside various buildings. The new provider within a month had installed repeaters where needed and we had connections almost everywhere, the locations where service was lost were locations that basically were cloaked intentionally.
i think its more about the frequency utilized (lower frequency travels through materials better than higher) than the power of the beam.
Interesting.
Star link to your phone.
I know that if you run iPhones you can use the wifi to make calls with no cell signal from phone to phone if you have wifi.
Star link can already offer that.
Very interested if this works even better. Then all the better
Amazing and fantastic, thank you Joseph
Not practical but I used to make sat calls from inside a ship.. just connect two antenna, one inside the room your in and one outside the ship. The antenna has to be for the frequency you're going to use or close to it but it will transmit and receive just fine even in the bowels of a solid steel ship.
Department stores, office buildings etc.. use the same tech.
Some phones already have the capability to send emergency texts in no service areas and has saved many lives.
Indoors is easy; it is called a repeater.
Maybe the next Starlink router may have a E-node module. There is your indoor service for cell phones.
There will have to be much larger batteries for the transmission portion of a conversation. If this is acceptable to the public then this will be a market changer.
We had a tower near us that was used by AT&T and TMobile. But there was some conflict with the tower owner so AT&T had another company put one up across the street that they now use. But this is a fluke, IMO, and you're right. I'd say the vast majority of cell towers in the USA are already placed.
I talked with a guy who said that these towers are already overloaded because they cannot handle the demand and the telecos are not upgrading because of the extreme cost to do so. And you can go into most small to medium sized towns around lunchtime and you won't be able to surf the web and may not be able to make calls.
It's a perfect opening for Starlink Cellular. There will be lawsuits from the telecos I'm sure, but Starlink may put them out of business just like they are doing with Hughesnet and Dish Network.
I enjoy your videos because I have had Starlink since June of 2022. It just keeps getting faster with less and less downtime. My only other choices in my rural area are terrible and I see more and more people here getting Starlink.
Very rare to hear.
The established carriers are only concerned about profit interference.......Al Scott
11;00 am missouri 94 down, 1`56 up.
I'm noticing slower and slower speeds lately.
56 up is better than nbn hfc
I have actually went places where there is no cell signal and I could only use Starlink. So I switched my phone to Wi-Fi calling and my phone worked just fine. Kind of the same thing.
Signal to noise is the key both for up and down links. That's determined by power and antenna gain (since path loss can not be controlled). Do you have any technical details on the frequencies used for existing sat phones and the bands T-Mobile now supports?
Somewhere. I was looking at it and I’m not sure how they are powering through a roof but it seems they have done it. Not sure what the snr is indoors compared to outdoor but I would guess, not great.
I understand the fascination with indoor direct to satellite, but why not start with the Current starlink antenna system with WiFi to cell phone as a service?
Yes. I routinely use cellular via WiFi with my iPhone.
Tried to tell apple to quit looking through my pictures and sending me "memories" as a "convenience" or "usefulness" excuse. They said, "Not possible!" Wouldn't it be great if Musk really did make a phone based around my choice of privacy level? That's my biggest hope for this one day.
As usual. Great analysis. Makes sense that the same bandwidth would have the same signal penetration, but the implications are big. Spacex applied for and got E-band which should boost the capacity of the V2 sats (planned and in service) by 3-4x. Add Starship and 120 V2large sats (9x the capacity... not including E-band of V1.5... or more than 1000 V1.5 sat equivalent bandwidth Per Launch.
Great video! Elon forever 😮

I have doubts on starlink ever being able to properly link switch cell phones in metal structures without terrestrial transmitters.
Here's why, even with the incredible ability to dig gps data out of noise, it still doesn't work under even a metal roof.
Metal is and has always been an issue for sure along with think concrete with rebar inside.
I do that today with wi-fi calling and using starlink as my internet provider.
No wonder the FCC hassling him. Makes sense now. That mean across WiFi, Cell Tower, Sat you will always have internet and phone. You know where the Titanic sank? On the water out there today you have internet, working on cell phone :) You actually have phone tru IP now out there. OUTSTANDING!!
Pie Town? Love that place, but there’s only about 15 people there……😂😂😂
Our Cell provider charges are astronomical expensive here in Canada, so I welcome Starlink, as a Starlink dish user, Starlink cell here I come!!!
Imagine getting all this working and they have signal everywhere. What a great opportunity for the government to turn it around for 100% surveillance so they can monitor your credit score and control your digital coin accordingly. Wow.
There are new towers going up across the country. Most are to fill gaps in coverage and handle increasing capacity.
Is 19mbs enough? I get 65 down and 28 up right now.
Repeaters/transponders are inexpensive to allow two-way communication to satellites indoors is one method to achieve communication.
Would this mean most folks would lose connectivity during the worst storms?
I live in a rule area in fact very rule area and I can tell you this I only have one or two bars at most at home if Elon Musk was to get this going this would be a godsend. We can get full bars and have better coverage I think it’s a good idea.
Just wait til the BIG starlinks are open for business. I fully anticipate Tesla vehicles to be able to link up soon.
Way back in the beginning, as cell phones began, I made a statement about using satellite technology for future use, so coverage would be worldwide. I forgot about the money makers on just putting up localized cell towers to limit coverage to the local market. How interesting. The biggest issue would be monopolizing the market; you can see the lawsuits being started.
Yep. $$$ for the attorneys.
it makes sense that the starlink cellular rf can penetrate walls and roofs because those frequencies are the same set of frequencies that the telcos use that penetrate walls today
From day one of Starlink. I said to myself "they gotta make it work with handheld devices" or give up.
High speed internet anywhere on the planet isn’t valuable?
What happens when the next cell phone upgrade comes along. Let’s call it “6G” for example. On earth those changes are easier to access than in space. Also, I would say a mighty bit cheaper! I currently live in rural New Mexico and am still using “4G” because the local providers don’t think we can support the cost of the upgrade. Hey maybe Elon’s Starlink team has already thought of that and they can do “6G” with a software patch. Needless to say a great deal of thought needs before we jump off the deep end and retire the land based towers. I saw CZcams video where Putin said he could cripple our communications with just ONE atomic bomb in outer space. The debris field would cause destruction to all satellites that cross its path.
Elon is so forward thinking that our current technology will become obsolete overnight. I've heard it described as magic, and now I understand how it happens in real time.
I have already canceled my landline and moved my number to VoIP with the help of Starlink hohoh so i would be glad to get rid off my mobile company too :D
They will probably provide cellular service inside your home or business using a modified "home internet box". It would receive from the satellite outside and create its own mesh network extender to cover inside.
Stopping at 2 minutes - satellite phones were a thing since 1998
Watch and learn something new.
I work for a local government. Not only are new big cell towers getting more rare, every time somebody wants to build one, all of the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) folks get all up in arms and fight it. Companies are installing mini cells on telephone poles. Without knowing what to look for, the mini cells can go unnoticed, but sometimes you need a big tower. The satellite solution has promise.
A cell tower has ten miles of range, the Starlink is at 150 miles of distance. The power levels from a unmodified phone currently don't allow for proper operations...
You hit the nail on the head... It has all changed if in fact this is now able to happen... Guarantee because of the wording; Space-X will now get mutiple biased complaints from the big boys... Dish, Verizon making life complicated for Space-X.. but it will just be superficial; and I hope the FCC will see this coming and for what it is... There will be studies enmasse that are now undertaken that will show all kinds of related interference... Mark my words... I am a former employee of Sprint; and managed a CLEC and had to submit all kinds of crazy matrix reports... Its going to get very political, real quick, when those staffers of the Telecoms start their complaint campaigns...
Awesome, I don't know how they did it. How such small phone can talk to satellite? And indoors? Incredible.
I wonder if phone producers will be interested to modifying their phone to make satellite service, like this, work better.
I hope cell companies stay in bussines. Competition is very needed.
1. Rockets
2. Satellite internet
3. X app
4. Satellite phones
Elon had a plan all along.
It's about time as long as the price is so much lower or even in your starlink package which we have now and is fantastic for us out here in the country in france 😊
5:35 I think the real Earth shattering news that was broken via this story is that, PC Magazine is still around.😂 Good for them.
😆 digital only I believe.
So we live in California and are T-Mobile customers. We were on Lake Shasta two weeks ago. Where we normally lose signal, our phones went from no signal, to S.O.S mode, to a satellite symbol. I have never seen this before. Maybe this was is it? We were still able to send and receive text messages, but not make a call. I guess we were guinea pigs and didn’t know it.
Starlink's stated intention is to supplement terrestrial cellular not replace it, and to provide that reliable cell-tower-in-the-sky only where there is no terrestrial signal. New Zealand for example has cell coverage for 98.5% of where Kiwis live, work and play, but this equates to only 30% of the landmass, so direct-to-cell will be a game changer for the 1.5% of Kiwis outside terrestrial coverage. Your cellphone should always default to a terrestrial cell site, and hopefully should seamlessly switch to Starlink and back again as the user moves out of and back in terrestrial coverage.
That's what they say in the beginning. Like what Starlink said in the very beginning. Starlink said it would only provide for the people who have no internet connection. Look at how, they are providing for anyone now.
The antennas in Starlink sattelites are phase array, aka software radio similar to the radars in jet fighters. I think they the frequency they use could be all software defined, meaning they might be able to change the service they offer just with a firmware update on the satellite.
Go from internet to cell 5G to military scanning for ennemy communication and position.
Once they have their array in orbit startlink is not going to have many limits beyond what the physic dictate.
Big brother in the sky’s, there will be no privacy, no hiding, we have no control or choice, the best phones were tided to a wire
🎉 very cool concept it does mean one thing that we are even more trackable than we already are but it’s still a very cool concept and also I agree with the fact that the cellular companies have already made way too much money on us!
I am not too worried at this point, I think Starlink has to worry a bit and have a Plan B as well if the Kessler Syndrome happens. With that many sats, its bound to happen at some point. 👍🤠 I think the transponder cell size will have some severe congestion if it takes hold. Just look at how the "internet" service in congested area work and are affected by congested and adoption. That is why mobile customers are charged so much. I guarantee that there would be huge data caps that would have to be put into place to support this at scale.
